IMPACT POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

Overview

Our thriving group practice, specializing in integrative psychotherapy, offers postdoctoral fellowship positions in Mamaroneck, NY and Fishkill, NY. Our postdoctoral fellows work with children, adolescents, and adults, including psychotherapy and psychoeducational testing and assessment. We offer many unique opportunities and a wonderful environment, with supportive, expert supervisors with specialities in psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, attachment-based therapies, and family systems models. We invite applications for full-time postdoctoral positions that begin in September or October of 2026 (upon receipt of limited permit from the Office of Professions). Applications are due December 14, 2026. We offer a competitive pay structure, weekly didactics, multiple forms of supervision, and a warm, collaborative work environment. Incoming postdoctoral fellows work 5 weekdays with occasional weekend hours as needed for testing/assessment. We offer a great deal of autonomy and allow postdoctoral fellows to build their own schedules with flexibility. If fellows complete their hours towards licensure prior to the end of the term and there is agreement about continue employment, a new contract is then offered.

Program Features

  • The opportunity to develop greater generalist skills in integrative psychotherapy across the lifespan as well as deepening expertise in a range of areas: child/adolescent work, trauma-informed psychotherapy, DBT for adolescents, therapeutic assessment, working with clients across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, neurodiversity-affirming approaches and much more.

  • Trainees receive weekly individual and group supervision. Our supervisors are known for their therapeutic and assessment skills and their warm, intellectually rigorous approach to clinical supervision.

  • Biweekly didactics, a weekly staff meeting, group testing/assessment supervision, and DBT-A Consultation Team with the IMPACT staff are also part of the training.

  • Psychoeducational testing and personality assessment (including projectives) are core, required components of the postdoctoral fellowship.

  • Training and coaching using deliberate practice for child therapy, multicultural humility, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

  • Lead or co-lead groups for youth and adults in our beautiful offices - groups include social skills, divorce support, and relationship support for teens

  • Training and certification in asylum assessments through the Physicians for Human Rights. Trainees will have the opportunity to conduct asylum assessments under supervision. Assessments include a comprehensive clinical interview, review of written medical records, consultation with PHR staff, writing of affidavit for the court, and possible testimony during hearings. Assessments are conducted in-person (when possible), virtually, and, occasionally, at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.

  • Guidance for creating your own private practice upon completion of the postdoctoral fellowship. We fully support trainees going on to create their own practices and encourage them to continue on with patients they have begun with at IMPACT. The postdoctoral fellowship period also gives IMPACT and the fellow the opportunity to determine if full-time employment upon full licensure will be a good fit.

  • A family-friendly environment with supportive parental leave policies and disability insurance.

  • Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, vision/dental, life insurance and a 401(k) plan.

  • Full liability coverage provided by the practice.

  • Generous annual stipend to pursue advanced clinical training.

This is an outstanding and unique opportunity for psychologists who are interested in working in a private practice setting with youth and adults in consultation with a warm and supportive team.

  • Applicants must be New York State limited permit-eligible graduates of an APA-accredited program with a strong interest in integrative psychotherapy and experience with psychodynamic and CBT treatment modalities.

  • "I truly appreciate the supportive team culture and the robust didactic opportunities available to us. There is an openness to learning from one another and a genuine respect for each clinician’s background and perspective. I think that’s very special."

    — Postdoctoral Fellow at IMPACT

  • "The postdoctoral experience at IMPACT was exactly what I was looking for in my training - flexible, supportive, and diverse in terms of clinical experience. I appreciated the integrative approach to therapy, and the opportunity to work across the lifespan with both children and adults. When I gravitated toward assessment toward the beginning of my postdoctoral year, I was met with support and training to allow that interest to flourish. Working in a private practice setting provided consistency which allowed me to deepen my clinical skills in working long-term with clients. Aside from my clinical role, I felt that IMPACT was accommodating and supportive of my needs as a new parent who was also going through postdoctoral training."
